PUTNAM COUNTY DAIRY FESTIVAL 2015
VENDOR RULES AND APPLICATION
The Annual Putnam County Dairy Festival is sponsored by the Pilot Club of Eatonton and held around the Courthouse Square in downtown Eatonton Georgia. The festival pays tribute to the county’s dairy industry. This year's festival will be held on Saturday, June 6, 2015, on the streets surrounding the Putnam County Courthouse. A number of activities are planned for the weekend which will bring many people to the county and include a parade, barbeque, speakers and entertainment. This year we are also providing an Antique Tractor Show. You may download additional information from our website ?????and you may also access links to other websites with information about Putnam County and our surrounding area.
Vendor spaces are located on asphalt in the street area surrounding the Courthouse. Arts and Crafts and Commercial/ Informational spaces are 14 feet x 14 feet. Food booth spaces are slightly larger and are assigned in order of arrival. Games/rides spaces are larger and are located in areas according to the game or ride. All vendors who require electricity/water must furnish their own power/generator and their own water. All tie‑downs must be self-contained. No stakes can be driven into the street/sidewalks. The City of Eatonton will impose a fine if stakes are driven into the streets/sidewalks. All vendors must check in before setup. Arts/crafts/commercial vendors report at the intersection of Jefferson Street and Sumter Street. Food vendors report at the intersection of Sumter Street and Washington Ave. Check-in will begin at 6:30 PM on Friday, June 5. Please do not report to the area prior to that time. Pilot Club members will be available for check-in and directions to allocated space until 9:00 PM. You are responsible for your setup and all items left in the area. Vehicles may remain in the area overnight but must be moved off the streets prior to 6:00 AM on Saturday morning. Check-in will resume again on Saturday morning at 6:00AM. Because of limited driving and unloading space you are requested to unload as quickly as possible. All vehicles must be removed by 7:30 AM. You will be directed to parking areas. The Festival closes at 5:00 P.M.
